This Advanced Certificate Training is made up of a series of online courses. The aim is to explore the benefits of working therapeutically in an attachment informed way linking clinical work with attachment research and theory.
Each day of training carries 7 CPD hours (to include 1 hour per day of training as pre-course listening or reading)
Maximum of 18 participants, apart from Module 7 – Attachment and Oneself, which has a maximum of 8 participants.
This will be led by Nicola Jones who is an expert in attachment, and one of our core trainers.
Introduction to the Series
An attachment-informed approach can make the inner worlds of our clients and patients more visible and is essential to meeting others safely and enabling the exploration of their presenting problems. No other clinical theory yields so much practical information about the theory of human development as attachment theory and no other theory explicitly links establishing a secure base in therapy with a similar process during infancy.
Attachment theory does not dictate a particular form of treatment; rather, understanding the nature and dynamics of attachment and of mentalisation (capacity for curiosity and holding uncertainty) informs rather than defines intervention and clinical thinking (Slade (2008)
You will be able to attend some or all of the modules, and book to attend the ones you want to. We hope to run this Certificate again in 2027. More info will be on our website by the end of November 2025
